1945 2.5 Mexican peso gold coins

Directtv has a number of sales channels running coin shows. Most of them seem to be selling Morgan silver dollars for big bucks. I channel surfed on to one with a Jimmy Somebody selling 2.5 gold pesos for $119 plus shipping and handling. They are supposed to be 10th oz. coins at 90% gold. That didn't sound like too bad a price. Of course, they could charge a massive fee for shipping and handling. I wondered what the board thought. Is this guy actually an honest dealer?

My local coin guy has these little fellas for $63 each right now, looked to have around 20 of them.
He also had around the same number of the one size bigger 2 1/2 Peso for $80.
I should bring a couple of 1 oz eagles in and clean him out of fractionals!!

Good idea ~ I would...........fractionals are very nice to have.

For anyone wanting information on gold coins, there is a dealer in the UK called tax free gold (google it) that has an enormous database of about every gold coin (w/pics). Whenever I see something on ebay that I have little knowledge in I go there. A bit hard to navigate at first. I've been slowly print screening and pasting onto a spread sheet the information I find whenever I go there. Good self education and fascinating. I also recently went to the library and found a huge book on about every gold coin ever made. Let me tell you, there has been a s-load of gold coins made over history. I had no idea there was that many.

I recently picked up the book, Standard Catalog of World Gold Coins, 6th Edition. George S. Cuhaj, Ed, Thomas Michael, Market Analyst. Outstanding book, not cheap though. I will agree with Rollie, Tax Free is a good site as well as 24 Carat.
